Hand hygiene01:23

Hand hygiene

5.7K
Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

A hand-off report, also known as a change-of-shift report, is a crucial nursing process that ensures the smooth transition of patient care responsibilities between nursing staff.
Following are the key components and categories of hand-off reports:

Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers

2.5K
The muscles of the forearm that move the wrist, hand, and digits are numerous and diverse. They can be classified into two groups based on their location and function — the anterior and posterior compartment muscles.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment muscles originate from the humerus. They primarily function as flexors and are also known as flexor muscles. They typically insert on the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The superficial layer includes the flexor carpi...

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Voluntary behavior with the intent to help other people is called prosocial behavior. Why do people help other people? Is personal benefit such as feeling good about oneself the only reason people help one another?

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Sensory Biology
  • Comparative Anatomy

Background:

  • The somatosensory cortex processes tactile information, including vibration.
  • Understanding mechanoreceptors is crucial for deciphering sensory pathways.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between rodent forelimb somatosensory cortex activity and vibration perception.
  • To identify the specific mechanoreceptors involved in this sensory processing.
  • To compare rodent sensory pathways with those in primates.

Main Methods:

  • Electrophysiological recordings from the somatosensory cortex.
  • Behavioral experiments measuring vibration intensity perception.
  • Anatomical tracing and cellular analysis to identify mechanoreceptors.

Main Results:

  • Cortical activity in the rodent forelimb somatosensory cortex directly correlates with the reported intensity of vibrations.
  • Specific candidate mechanoreceptors were identified as responsible for driving the observed cortical responses.
  • Significant anatomical and neural distinctions were observed when comparing rodent sensory systems to those of primates.

Conclusions:

  • Rodent somatosensory cortex plays a key role in the behavioral reporting of vibration intensity.
  • The identified mechanoreceptors are critical mediators of this sensory-behavioral link.
  • Comparative analysis underscores the divergent evolution of tactile sensory systems across mammals.
